How Many Girths do you have......

[3Beasties]

Per Horse? and do you use them all?

Charlie has about 6. 2 x leather ones, 2x synthetic ones, 1x material type one and one (fake) sheepskin lined one. My reasoning behind so many is that I can gather dirty ones up to put in the wash together, that never seems to happen though and I always seem to use the same two girths all the time!

Millie only has one at the moment as I have just got her a new saddle and none of her old girth fitted with it (she did have about 4) so they will be going on eBay. Think I may just get her one more new one so she has a spare.

ermm 4 I think, I only use my thorowgood one though. I like it best and doesnt pinch Doug or anything.

 

[teddyt]

One per horse. But i have about ten leather ones that i dont use anymore

 

[ester]

ooh, your making me feel better!

1 leather one,
1 synthetic thorogood
1 synth aerborn
1 string
1 cc atherstone

and just sent one back to DH which they have given full refund on as it caused a horrid hole in pony. so still keeping an eye out for a new one!

I think i have two for my mare, three at a push, i try keep most things simpler, had way too much at one point, though i do have quite a few rugs just now

 

[abracadabra]

more than several! most of which i dont use!
swapped my leather atherstone for a stubben string for my sadlle-slippy-horse
despite the many girths I am currently using the same girth on 3 other horses since I have to carry everything up to my field i only take what i have to!

With 4 kids, equine washing takes a back seat, so I should have hundereds, but I have a few, and my fav is a elasticated, neprone covered one that does not get as filthy as all the others. We also use racing girths on the racing saddle - but those are webbing, so do need washing. The old style cottage craft type (that were revolutionary when they replaced the string girths....yes I am that old!) are now fairly naff!

 

[rara007]

4 girths, 3 saddles, 8 ponies

 

[legaldancer]

Each horse has three, but like many of you, I only use the same ones all the time! All go in the washing machine

Two are the 'fairly naff' Cottage Craft ones & I still like them!

 

[JessPickle]

2 Stubben string ones he came with (one brown, one white) however he was a fatty when I got him so neither fit anymore.
2 Aerborn girths in 2 different sizes.
1 Leather girth (allthough thats on another horse at the moment)
1 Dressage Girth

All for one horse who has 2 saddles

 

[LadyRascasse]

between 2 horses i have 5 2x synthetic 2 x leather and 1x dressage

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

2 Horses - cob - gp saddle one atherstone girth (has got 4 other girths but due to diet has lost over 20 inches so are all way to big now!

)

wb - gp saddle one atherstone girth, gressage saddle with girth

 

[marmalade76]

1 leather atherstone
1 cottage craft (haven't used for ages)
1 leather dressage
1 thorowgood (use this the most as it dosen't seem to get dirty)
My pony has 2 old cottage craft and one of those old-fashioned webbing show girths that are stitched together in the middle with a bit of rubber and I use this one the most on her.

 

[MrsMozart]

Too many

For three neds we have...

One normal leather;
One wavy leather;
Three Aerborn;
One dressage;
Two Cottage Craft;
One Wintec;
And three-ish others that I can't remember what they are, I just keep ignoring them in the hope they'll find a new home somehow (along with the five saddles sat on the study floor...

).
